What is a Spirit Merchant?

SPIRIT MERCHANT

My Grandfather owned
a Pub in Ireland.
In his day, he was called
a Spirit Merchant.
 
When I helped behind the bar,
he told me how we
are all connected to love,
through a Spirit of kindness,
and a Spirit of joy.

Through a Spirit of friendship,
a Spirit of compassion,
a Spirit of caring,
a Spirit of humility, and
a Spirit of resilience.

Through a Spirit of helping,
a Spirit of humanity,
a Spirit of determination,
a Spirit of gentleness, and
a Spirit of gratitude.

He smiled as he told me,
that, in every moment,
in every day,
love is with each of us.
For we are all working
as Spirit Merchants.
